The codex contains 44 leaves (11.5cm by 8.5cm), written in one column per page, 21-25 lines per page. The codex has no sections, canons or headings, but it contains 16 colour illuminations. There are no indications on the codex that it was originally part of a tetraevangelium.
The codex 2427 was found among the possessions of John Askitopoulos, an Athenian collector and dealer of antiquieties, after his death in 1917. In 1925 the manuscript was sent to Chicago, where the codex is holded in Chicago University (Ms. 972).
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. It was recognized by Ernest Cadman Colwell as having an extraordinary degree of correspondence with the Codex Vaticanus. According Colwell the codex preserved the primitive text of the Gospel of Mark.[1] Aland placed it in Category I.
